✨❤️Honoring Our Veterans and Giving Back with Second Chance K9 Service Dogs ❤️✨

Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor the incredible men and women who have served our country. Your bravery, dedication, and sacrifices remind us of the freedoms we enjoy every day, and we are endlessly grateful. At Clarksville Animal Clinic, we’re inspired by your service, and we’re committed to giving back in ways that make a difference.

On November 22nd, we’re proud to support Second Chance K9 Service Dogs by donating 5% of our revenue to this remarkable organization. Second Chance K9 Service Dogs is dedicated to helping both dogs and veterans find a new purpose, rescuing and training dogs to become loyal service animals for special operations veterans in need. For every dog they rescue, they’re creating a new chapter filled with companionship and healing for veterans who have given so much for us.

Did you know? Training a service dog can cost up to $30,000—a cost Second Chance K9 covers so veterans can receive their help without barriers. Through this donation, we’re honored to help them continue this life-changing work.

Join us on November 22nd for Donation Day—every appointment will help us give back to those who have given so much. Together, we can support Second Chance K9 as they change lives and bring hope, one dog and one veteran at a time.

Thank you, veterans, for your courage, your service, and your strength. We are forever in your debt. 💙🐾

✨🧡 November is Flea and Tick Prevention Month! 💙✨

One of our most frequently asked questions here in Tennessee is whether fleas and ticks are still a concern during the colder months. While it’s true that these pests are more active in warmer weather, they can remain a problem year-round. 🐾

🌡️ Fleas can thrive indoors, surviving and reproducing even in winter, which makes infestations possible any time of year. Meanwhile, ticks are resilient to the cold and can be active on mild winter days.

To protect your pets (and home!) from these pesky parasites year-round, we recommend:
◾Regular grooming
◾Using prescription flea and tick preventative medications
◾Keeping your home and yard clean and well-maintained

Take advantage of our November Flea and Tick Prevention Promo! 🎉
◾Get 8% OFF on 6 months of flea & tick prevention.
◾Save 12% OFF on 12 months of flea & tick prevention.

📈 Note: Prices on prevention products are expected to increase at the beginning of the year. Now is the perfect time to stock up and save on your pet's protection! Don’t miss this chance to keep your furry friends safe and comfortable all year long.

✨🧡 Welcome to the 24th edition of our "Ask Your Vet" series! 💙✨

This week, Dr. Sykes is here to answer a question many pet owners have asked: "What can I do for my pet to help with car rides?" Dr. Sykes breaks down the common causes behind car ride struggles, shares his recommendations for medications and techniques, and offers some helpful tips for anxious or nauseous pets.

"There are mainly two reasons pets do not do well with car rides. The first is nausea or motion sickness, which occurs when what your pet’s eyes see does not agree with what your pet’s inner ear senses. The other reason is anxiety from being in a moving vehicle and not really understanding or liking what is happening. Sometimes both happen together. Before relying on a treatment for a long ride, I always recommend trying the treatment for short rides around the neighborhood. This will allow you to get an idea of how well it is going to work.

Typically, the first medication I recommend for either of these reasons is Diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine is over-the-counter and widely available, so it’s easy to get; most people even have it on hand. Diphenhydramine is also cheap and relatively safe. The main side effect is drowsiness, which can help with anxiety and nausea. Antihistamines can also help with nausea by making the inner ear less sensitive to the changes it senses. This should be given 45 minutes before a car ride and can be given every 4-6 hours as needed. Before giving your pet any medication, it is important to make sure it is safe for your pet and that there are no potential adverse drug interactions with any medication your pet currently takes.

If Diphenhydramine does not work, then it is very important to determine the underlying condition. There is a medication (Cerenia) labeled specifically for motion sickness, and it is very effective. There are several anxiety medications, but Trazodone is the most common one we use because it works well without having to build up in the body.

Acepromazine has been used for a long time, and many veterinarians still use it. However, I do not prefer it, as animals respond very differently to it, and it can cause profound sedation and drops in blood pressure. There are much safer medications than Acepromazine.

Other things that are not likely to work by themselves but can make the above treatments more successful include pheromones, essential oils, window shades, and carriers. Calming pheromones (Adaptil for dogs and Feliway for cats) have been shown to help calm animals in anxiety-causing environments. Lavender has also been shown to reduce anxiety in pets during car rides. Window shades can help decrease the inner ear effect by reducing the brightness and alternating bright and low lights (which can give a strobe effect). Carriers can also help give the pet a familiar, safe place and the feeling of secure containment while on a car ride. Carriers are most helpful when the pet is trained in the home, before a ride, that the carrier is a safe and secure area where nothing bad happens.

One thing that can help with car ride issues is to do more of them. I know that sounds counterproductive, but most pets with nausea will grow out of it, much like people, if they get used to it with more and more car rides. The repeat rides help the eyes and ears learn to communicate better. I recommend keeping these short at first, then lengthening them over time. When you get home, be sure to reward the pet so the ride is not a negative experience. I would not reward the pet during the ride just in case nausea hits after giving the reward. For pets with anxiety, I do recommend giving a small number of treats during these rides and, if possible, having someone sit with the pet, continuously petting and praising the pet so they view the entire experience as positive. Once the pet becomes more comfortable, the treats, petting, and praising can slowly be decreased.

That said, some pets never get completely comfortable with car rides and may always need medication. -Dr. Sykes"

✨🧡 Welcome to the 23rd edition of our "Ask Your Vet" series! 💙✨

This week, Dr. Sykes is here to answer an important question for pet owners who love to travel: "Can you explain how health certificates work?" He breaks down the types of health certificates, the requirements for state-to-state and international travel, and how to ensure your pet’s documentation is in order.

"Lets dive right in as this can be a bit complicated since there are different types of health certificates, and different locations require various testing, medications, and requirements. I’ll simplify this as much as possible and provide helpful resources. My best advice is to contact your veterinarian as soon as you know you’ll be traveling with a pet, and begin your own research as well. The more prepared you are, the smoother the process will be for everyone involved.

State-to-State Health Certificates: These certificates confirm that your pet has been examined by an accredited veterinarian who has found no infectious diseases and has verified that your pet is current on its rabies vaccination. Typically, state-to-state certificates are valid for 30 days. However, if you are flying, most airlines require them to be completed within 10 days of travel. Requirements vary, so check with your airline to ensure you have the correct documentation and timing.

Hawaii Requirements: Hawaii has strict requirements, including rabies testing that must be sent to a specific lab, which can take 4-6 weeks for results. The state also mandates a combination of rabies vaccinations and microchipping to be performed in a specific order. If you want to receive your pet immediately upon arrival, there are additional steps; otherwise, your pet may face a quarantine period.

International Health Certificates: These vary greatly depending on the destination. Many intermediate stops also have requirements for travel through that country, even if only for a layover. Many countries mandate parasite treatments within a specific timeframe, which can include treatments for fleas, ticks, and/or intestinal parasites.

For international health certificates, documents often need to be emailed to a USDA veterinarian for approval and mailed back to the client. This process can take a few days, so plan for this within your travel timeframe.

Both domestic and international travel with a pet requires a health certificate. Without one, you may be turned back, or your pet could face months in quarantine. Educating yourself and preparing well in advance is key to a smooth travel experience for you and your pet. -Dr. Sykes"

✨🧡 Welcome to the 22nd edition of our "Ask Your Vet" series! 💙✨

This week, Dr. Sykes will be addressing a question that many pet owners often wonder about: "Is my pet overweight?" As a continuation of our weight loss month education, Dr. Sykes will explain how to determine if your pet is carrying extra pounds, and the health risks associated with pet obesity. Stay tuned to learn more about keeping your pet fit and healthy!

"October is Weight Loss Month, so I thought this would be the perfect continuation on the client education our team has been putting out. This is an extremely important question because a very high percentage of pets we see are overweight. This is significant since overweight pets can have a much-decreased life span and quality of life. Overweight pets are more prone to several chronic conditions, like diabetes, severe osteoarthritis, etc. There are a couple of scoring systems, but these are the 2 best I have found. Use these to see if your pet is overweight and if so, we will help to get your pet on a weight loss program. Being underweight is not nearly as common and if your pet is on a balanced diet and is underweight, it probably needs to be seen by a veterinarian to rule out any underlying conditions. Thank you all for tuning in, and your continued support! Talk to you next time! - Dr. Sykes"

🐾🧡 October is Weightloss Month at Clarksville Animal Clinic! 💙🐾

Wondering if your pet is overweight? It's not just about the number on the scale. According to Purina, assessing body condition score (BCS) and lean body mass are better indicators of overall health for dogs and cats.

🔍 Here’s how to determine if your pet is at a healthy weight:

Body Condition Score (BCS): Purina's 9-point BCS system helps estimate your pet’s optimal body weight. The ideal BCS is 4-5 for dogs and 5 for cats. Pets with a BCS of 8 or 9 are considered obese.
◾Look for a Waist: Your pet should have a visible waist when viewed from above and an abdominal tuck when viewed from the side.
◾Feel the Ribs: You should be able to easily feel your pet's ribs without pressing too hard.
◾Muscle Mass: Evaluate muscle mass to account for any losses that may occur.
◾Activity Level: Monitor your pet’s activity level. Overweight pets may struggle with exercise and become easily fatigued.
◾Diet and Nutrition: Ensure your pet is on a balanced diet. Avoid overfeeding and consider portion control. Consult with your vet for a suitable diet plan.
◾Regular Check-Ups: Regular veterinary check-ups can help monitor your pet’s weight and overall health, catching any issues early.

Don't Forget! Every pet that gets a 4DX Heartworm Test or a Feline Triple Test will be entered into our exciting monthly giveaway! For October, we're also offering special discounts: 5% off 6 months of heartworm prevention and 10% off 12 months of heartworm prevention.

We’re excited to help you and your pets achieve their weight loss goals this October! Let’s work together to ensure our furry friends stay healthy and happy. 🧡💙
